Feb 2022 space-rock rock space wah-pdeal
Me & Gordon just keep on asking the big questions.
We should get in touch with that Brian Cox and ask him this, don't you think? He's bound to know....
The guitars on this are all just a Tele fed through a Tube Screamer for the rhythm guitars.
The intro and lead parts are the same guitar but with about 7 different pedals all humming along.
The bass is coming directly from a Darkglass ADAM unit. I got it a week ago and I LOVE the sound of it :D
Music: sapient
Words & vocals: Gordon
Do you think there are gangsters in space?
A threat to the human race?
Are their ships painted menacing black?
Do they orbit distant planets before they attack?
Do you think there are gangsters in space?
Pirates and gangsters, beyond the stars
Deep in the darkness, way beyond Mars
Do you think there are hippies in space?
Are they another dying race?
Do they try to join together
Try to make things better
Do you think that there are hippies in space?
Hippies and peaceniks somewhere in space
Making other worlds a better place

Damn, this is nice! It actually has a goth rock feel to it, which I enjoy. Great work, both of you! I really enjoyed this!

And oh my that reverb.
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
A sonic wonder coupled with an original idea… I’m sold!
@johnnycashpoint Feb 2022
Of course there are. No escape from the damn hippies .... I love the vague nastiness here! xj$
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 2022
Awesome vibes all around! Really enjoyed my listen. Hippies in space, indeed.
@chroes Feb 2022
Firefly and BSG ftw! No, seriously, great piece, it has just the right amount of earthiness and grit along with reverb and delay to make this an awesome spacy rock song!
@nadine Feb 2022
Did you watch Firefly? Then you know the answers to all these questions lol. I love the sounds you get out of the guitars. I didn't expect such a cool bluesy groove with wah wahs. Made my day, thanks!

I adore that last verse re hippies in space !
The underlying rhythm and vibe here is wonderful and when that first guitar solo came in I couldn't get enough (I wanted it to last a lot longer).
